Was the massive wave of support for Ukraine a hype train? I mean, I guess so but my point is that it still has nothing to do with some sort of conspiracy theory. Maybe there's no narrative distortion, people really just do support them?
Would be nice to trace it back to it's origin. This Hasan-Abi Streamer comes to mind. I only watched like 2 x 5 minutes on two different occasions, on one of which he talked about 9/11 [1], the potential conspiracies of which were a long debated topic back in my Uni days. In those days I learned a bit about the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict and since then, for over a decade, watched the media and politicians distorting the history AND the narrative quite a bit. It's easy to create a trend here and it feels very much like the goal is again, polarization.
